Seeing as I've been in a bit of a historical fiction mood, I thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, after devouring books like Conn Iggulden's Wars of the Roses: Trinity and Robert Fabbri's Masters of Rome recently, I feel that Brazen was probably just a bit too childish and pedantic. I mean, it's not exactly a bad book for young adults, but for someone who's familiar with Phillipa Gregory's Tudor series, etcetera, this book is just not wow enough for me. Someone else said that Brazen doesn't particularly transcend well from YA to Adult reading, and I'm inclined to agree, because heck ... I tried to finish this book, but I couldn't.
This wasn't the first time I've read YA historical fiction either, so that's not completely the problem. The reading-level was simply too low and the writing too staccato. Basically, if I could go back in time, I'd skip this one without a second thought.
The cover's real pretty though ...
